Tunisia will host, from May 10 to 11, 2010, the 2nd Maghribi Businessmen Forum. The event will bring together 1000 heads of enterprises, officials as well as Maghreb officials.

Under the patronage of President Ben Ali, the forum will be organized by the Maghreb Union of Employers (UME) in collaboration with the Tunisian Union of Industry, Trade and Handicrafts Union (UTICA) and the Lebanese Al Iktissad Wal Aamal Group.

Under the motto, "for a Maghribi company" , the forum will be an opportunity to showcase the "common challenges of Maghribi companies" in a context of globalization and the role of banking sector in the performance of the company.

During a news conference, UTICA's President, Mr. Hedi Jilani said that the forum aims at strengthening a Maghribi complementarity and achieving a Maghribi economic Union, since it offers an opportunity to discuss the concerns of Maghribi businessmen and the requirements of economic enterprise as well as the promotion of its environment so as to cope with foreign competition.

Participants will also discuss the obstacles and prospects of "federal projects" and Maghrebi success stories.

Participants will also focus on the need to boost partnerships and reinforce inter-Maghribi trade relations.

Other events, B2B meetings, workshops and an exposition dedicated to sponsors, will also be held.
